On Thursday 21 March Year 13 Artists impressed us with their diverse creativity.
On Thursday 21 March the annual IB Visual Arts exhibition opened its doors at St Andrews International School Bangkok. The exhibition, named “Unrestrained” after Gung Ging Nirandara’s beautiful thread and acrylic artwork, was extremely impressive. The group comprised of 13 students and the exhibition brought together a diverse range of types of art from the classical figurative approach of Emma Gille to the political street art style of Nabil Aditya Irfan. Visitors commented on the strength of the work on display, noting that it was not only skillfully executed, but conceptually engaging. Working across a number of media, some work challenged the audience with issues of body image and societal values, whilst other pieces were intimate or celebratory, such as China Assavanitchakorn’s colourful acrylic paintings. The exhibition certainly has work for all tastes and we would like to congratulate the students on the excellent standard of their work. By popular demand the exhibition has been extended and will stay open until Wednesday 27 March.
This week’s ‘Artist of the Week’ is Year 11 student New Sriwiboonrattana, nominated for her excellent painting, which is her entry for the Nord Anglia Visual Arts competition. The painting represents the theme of ‘Strong Institutions’ cleverly using symbolism to communicate subtle and complex ideas. We wish her good luck in the competition.
Eloise reflects on her experiences representing St Andrews International School at the annual Remembrance Day service hosted by the British Club in Bangkok. She expresses her deep gratitude for honouring the sacrifices of fallen soldiers and the pride she feels in continuing a family tradition while representing her school and community. Eloise emphasises the importance of this meaningful event in fostering remembrance and appreciation.
Students at St Andrews International School Bangkok have begun an exciting artificial intelligence project: integrating Nord Anglia’s “Misty the Robot” with conversational AI model, ChatGPT. Under the guidance of our Head of Robotics, Mr Rob Parker, they recently presented their results to Regional Managing Director, Mr Shaun Williams, as well as the Board of Directors at St Andrews, with the proposition of growing this project as a collaborative research venture across Nord Anglia schools.
With the goal of providing meaningful help to the flood victims in the northern regions of Thailand, our entire community at St Andrews Bangkok came together to raise funds and donations for the affected families. In the span of a few short weeks, added to donations of food and clothing, we managed to raise an astounding total of 386,676.50 THB in donation funds. To all students, teachers, parents, and staff who participated in our efforts and contributed to this cause—thank you!
